Chapter 48 Because I Want
Xie Xingchen thought to himself.
His image in Lin Yao's mind might have improved a little, but it was really only that much.
It's roughly the same distance that used to be so close that I might assassinate him if we met, but now it's so close that I feel a pang of conscience and give him a handout.
Xie Xingchen apologized: "That's good, you have backbone. I shouldn't have used money to humiliate people."
"Good to know." Lin Yao's expression was indifferent as he glanced down at the gold-inlaid jade tissue box.
Extravagance and waste.
Xie Xingchen opened a huge suitcase and started stuffing things into the locker next to it, saying as he did so, "This time, Dean Huo is leading the team. Since you don't have anything to bring, I'll pack up and we'll head back to school together before we leave."
Lin Yao lowered his head and texted He Li: "Okay, got it."
Looking up again, I saw the contents of the box: four sets of pajamas, two pairs of slippers, two toothbrushes, two cups...
It's like moving house, everything is in even numbers.
"It's not a vacation, why take one and then have to rotate?" Lin Yao couldn't stand his spoiled young master's behavior. "If you're so delicate, then don't go. You might as well stay home and recover."
Just as he was about to continue writing, several pillowcases were shoved into his hand. Xie Xingchen said, "Pick one. Which one do you like to sleep on?"
Lin Yao:? ? ?
Seeing his blank expression, Xie Xingchen explained, "This trip will be quite long, and it's on a remote, desolate planet. The accommodations might not be comfortable, so we'll try to prepare as comfortable a place as possible. If we don't sleep well, it will cause even more delays."
"This is for me?" Lin Yao was stunned.
"Otherwise, why would I invite you to my house?" Xie Xingchen said with a laugh. "You don't really think I just want to show off my wealth, do you?"
Lin Yao: ""
I'm sorry, he really thought that three minutes ago.
At this point, I was somewhat suspicious and judged him unfairly, which was quite embarrassing.
He looked down at the several colors, then casually touched one. It was very smooth and soft; even without knowing the brand, he could feel the high-quality material.
"I don't know what the difference is, just... this is fine, I'm easygoing and not picky."
That's the truth; he can sleep until dawn even on a park bench.
"Then bring them all. Change them every day, and you'll eventually find one you like," Xie Xingchen said nonchalantly, folding them all up and putting them flat into the box.
Lin Yao was speechless for several seconds before he asked uncertainly, "So, are the toiletries you brought for me too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other person look up at him without saying a word.
"I guessed wrong. It's just that our relationship has been weird lately, and I must have lost my mind to make this guess," Lin Yao said, turning his head away and coldly saying, "I was telling a lame joke."
Then I felt a warm palm fall on the top of my head and gently rub it.
"Yes, it's for you," Xie Xingchen said with a smile. "I'm glad you thought that."
Lin Yao couldn't stand his cat-petting-like actions, and he felt as if he had been acupunctured, unable to move or stay still.
The key point is that this guy seems to be addicted to touching it, his fingertips are wrapped around the hair several times, rubbing and kneading it non-stop.
Lin Yao, unable to bear it any longer, kicked him, saying, "The last person who touched my head almost broke a bone."
"Wasn't it me last time? The time I washed your hair?"
“...That was the one before that.” Lin Yao gritted his teeth.
Xie Xingchen laughed so hard that he withdrew his hand and took out a whole bunch of things to carry for people to choose from, from color to style to material. Lin Yao felt like he was shopping in a home furnishing store.
After nearly an hour of fussing, I finally pushed two large suitcases full of luggage back to school.
He had very few belongings; a small black handbag contained everything, taking up little space, and he could just grab it and go.
Cheng Boyan begged Director Cheng for a whole week and finally managed to squeeze into the queue through back channels. Apart from him and Xie Xingchen, Lin Yao himself had no expression, while the other three who were punished for doing something wrong all had long faces.
"Speechless. Just thinking about going to that godforsaken place makes me speechless." Duan Zheng frowned, looking at his colleagues with their annoying faces, his whole body filled with displeasure.
“Duan, if you continue with this attitude, this trip won’t be easy,” Hall warned. “We’ve taken Xie Xingchen’s previous suggestion into account, and this time we’ll be traveling in small aircraft, so we’ll be in pairs. You’ll be on that one aircraft.”
Li Mao looked up and saw four aircraft, each with a different design.
But clearly one of them was dilapidated, old, and had peeling paint; it looked like it would fall apart as soon as it was started.
He asked weakly, "Is there a problem? It won't fall down halfway through the flight, will it?"
Hall thought for several seconds before saying very carefully, "Generally, it's unlikely, but this aircraft is quite old, so there might be a one percent chance."
Duan Zheng: "...Fuck."
Hall smiled slightly: "Alright, everyone, form your own groups and get ready to go."
He Li reached out and snuggled against Lin Yao: "I'll go with you. My driving skills aren't great, so please bear with me."
Before Lin Yao could agree, Xie Xingchen reached out and pulled him away: "He's with me."
"Why?" He Lixin thought it was quite audacious of him to try and steal someone from Xie Shao, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "I'm quite familiar with him. Cheng Boyan got in through your family's connections, so you two are quite close. Is there a problem?"
Xie Xingchen: "........."
No problem, that's perfectly reasonable, I have nothing to say.
Lin Yao glanced at him, unsure if his newly recovered body could handle driving for an extended period: "Can you drive?"
“Sure,” Xie Xingchen said. “If you don’t want to drive, I can do it all.”
Lin Yao was worried that Cheng Boyan's skills were also lacking, so he said, "Then I'll go with He Li. Be careful."
Xie Xingchen: "..."
So he came up with an idea for that clingy person: "He Li, would you like to make this trip more comfortable?"
He Li nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Of course I want to."
Being sent to such a tough place and having to do filming work, I feel like dying.
"I'll give you my best pajamas, pillowcases, toiletries, and the best flying vehicle I brought, in exchange for me teaming up with Lin Yao," Xie Xingchen said.
Lin Yao recalled how he used to tidy up his things at home. It was clear that he usually paid great attention to quality. Why was he giving everything away now?
He still reminded her, "The places you sleep on that desolate planet might not even be covered, are you sure?"
“I can back down.” Xie Xingchen turned his head and continued to tempt He Li, “They are all very good things, light and smooth, you will definitely like them.”
He Li really wanted the high-end four-piece set, but he also felt it was really unfair to abandon his brothers. He was torn and looked troubled.
Feeling uneasy, she asked warily, "Why do you insist on being in a group with Yao? What are you up to? Give me a reasonable explanation."
Everyone stopped in their tracks, wanting to hear what was going on.
The two who used to fight to the death have suddenly put aside their differences and become so inseparable?
Lin Yao also turned his head, insisting on going together. Was it because he was afraid of needing Omega pheromones to soothe him during the journey?
Xie Xingchen had his hands in his pockets, his hair blowing in the wind, revealing sharp eyebrows and eyes, and his tone was arrogant.
"No reason, because I want to."
